Breakfast at Tiffany’s needs no explanation. Bean at Tiffany’s, on the other hand, might. First introduced by Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co. in the 1970s, the (you guessed it) kidney bean-shaped pendant—minimal, sculptural and incredibly chic—is back in rotation, and it’s landing on the necks of many chic women. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Olivia Rodrigo and Elise Catchlove, to name but a few.
It's simple, abstract and distinctly Peretti. The model-turned-designer was best known for her Tiffany Bone Cuff and had a knack for turning organic forms into era-defining accessories, with the Bean being a prime example. Proving its true timelessness, fifty years on, and it looks just as modern—no matter if you're looking at the original designs or the slightly updated 50th-anniversary re-issues.
